LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A West Los Angeles man with autism who went missing for more than a week has been reunited with his family, his mother confirmed to ABC7.
Jeremy Hansbrough, 29, was last seen by family members on Monday, May 16.
On Thursday, a nurse at the California Hospital Medical Center in downtown L.A. recognized the man and immediately contacted authorities. She said she noticed him from a photo shared on Eyewitness News.
His mother, Michelle Hansbrough, spoke with Eyewitness News and confirmed her son was found safe.
"It is him, we are with him now," she said.
